| Texas lawmakers are putting educators on the hot seat after public school curriculum surfaced that promoted Islam and socialism while deconstructing American values and patriotism. (Snip) School children were exposed to lessons that labeled the Boston Tea Party an act of terrorism. They were also instructed to create flags for socialist and communist countries. And they were also given in-depth lessons in the Islamic faith that included classroom readings from the Koran. “They are indoctrinating our children to hate America,” said Janice VanCleave, of Texas Education Patriots.
|
Comments: Dan Patrick a Republican Texas lawmaker was just on Fox and said that the teachers had to sign a contract saying they were subject to criminal penalties if they exposed certain parts of this program. There was a lesson that required students to design a socialist or communist flag?? Texas is changing it, what about all the other states where you have to believe this happening? Every day we see something more breathtaking than the last.

Way past time to defund, eliminate, get rid of, the Dept of Education. Long long long past. When the person running the department thinks that socialism/communism is the way to go and encouraged a 15 year old boy to let his homosexual feeling flow and have a "relationship" with a 45 to 50 year old man and that it is healthy and natural? Um no...defund, eliminate and kiss it good bye and let the states have it back and local control. So our children won´t be spoon fed propaganda and brainwashed into the utopia progressive b/s.

Not to defend any of this (I think what this organisation is doing is presenting a relativistic view of history which I completely reject), but I do know that Islam teaches from the old testimaent and that Allah is thier designation for what we would call God. Differences in how God is percveived by the teachings of the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic faiths is something I don´t know though. Someone here probably knows.

And John McCain stood in the well of the Senate and railed at Michelle Bachman and Louis Gohmert of Texas for suggesting that our government is infested with Islamists. Our Senators Cornyn and Hutchison stood by and said nothing of course.

Perhaps the good people of Texas and their Governor should close down the schools for disinfestation ,and reopen when a proper non revisionist curriculum is establshed.

#4 Islam doesn´t teach from the Old Testament although some passages have been plagiarized, they use the koran and their "god" allah is one supposedly picked by mohammad which was a moon god represented by a black rock, from among the many they use to worship when they were polytheistic. satan by any other name is still lucifer and uses the same tricks to condem us. the public school idiots rewriting history are all following the communist plan they learned in college to subvert our history and or customs and unfortunately most of the sheeple are just following right into lock step with them.

Not all Texas teachers should be lumped in with the libtards--
Many are old-school and strongly hold to traditional values as those in academia seek to cut off debate and promote wacko programs.
The State Board of Education is heavily dominated by conservative republicans who may not be aware of this blatant atrocity.

#9 Islam does indeed teach from the Old Testement. I lived in Saudi Arabia for years and saw the TV shows explaining the Old Testament. I also have friends that are muslims and we have talked extensively about this. These friends are the true peaceful adherents of Islam, not the idiots we read about on a daily basis.

Liberalism is alive and well in every school district - Texas too. It varies from a little to a lot but all children are being affected if they go to these government schools. It is shocking that parents are being lured into thinking Islam has ANY place in any form in an AMERICAN school.

#11 did they also teach you about taqqiyah? I bet you they didnt. Peaceful my foot. If by peace they mean not standing up to the terrorists and violent jihadists and silently turning their backs on how Islam treats infidels, then maybe. But they are complicit in Islam´s perversion of religion. They are the Borg of the religious world. They are not interested in coexistence. They will edge the rest of us out by mere "peace."
And they may "borrow" from the "Old Testament" but it is only so they can lay claim to prophets and history that was never theirs in the first place. None of what their Koran teaches falls in line with the 10 commandments, I guarantee you. I bet they also told you that Allah was not the same God as the God of the Jewish and Christian peoples.
Yes, you had better ask them about taqqiyah before you listen to anything else they say and ask yourself: what other religion advocates lying in order to gain converts? I bet you there is only one who does that.

The reason the entire country needs to watch this closely is that Texas and California have tremendous influence on textbooks that are used throughout the country because they, from what I understand, have statewide curricula.

Several snippets of the audio from the February strategy sessions were published Tuesday by Mother Jones magazine, along with a lengthy article. The recording, obtained from an unnamed source, included McConnell aides discussing ways to politically damage actress Ashley Judd, who at the time was talked about as a possible McConnell challenger.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
